[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's going on with the bashing of Harvard on here? Is it just a few folks? The people being interviewed sounds sad. This was not our experience with the hard working kids we know at Harvard.[/quote] Well, Harvard is the easy school to attack. Because, Harvard. No one is punching down when it comes to Harvard. But I do think there's an increasing sense that Harvard undergrad is very mediocre - whether due to grade inflation or all the hooked students. The best and brightest go elsewhere these days. And yet Harvard remains on top of the pedestal. So that bothers some people. I know that at my kids high school, an app to Harvard is regarded as pretentious and "striver" for lack of a better word. These are kids going for the brand rather than the education and experience. And people judge accordingly. [/quote] In what world is Math 55, physics 16, etc "mediocre"?[/quote]
